LEONE LOCAL CHAT.

Wouldn't it be advisable to change
the annual fitting day to the first OF
May, as they have done in New York.
The first day of April is more likely
to blow snow all over us than to beam
down in warm sunshine, and yet that
is the day custom has made necessary
for birds of passage to bundle up their
Lares and Penates and transfer them
to some other nest. Half the human
family are said to be OF migratory
habits, and that is one cause of the
ever shifting domestic scenery thro'
the borough. Then again there are
those who assert that it's cheaper to
move than to pay rent /; but believe
I'd prefer the latter as long as the
combination could be made to work.
Thanks to Col. Mcclellan for copies
of "Truth," late newspaper plant
in Gettysburg, edited by Mr.. A. P.
Seilhamer. formerly of the Chambers
burg "Public Opinion" 1t is a
ereditable, wide-awake sheet, likely
to stir up that sleepy little Theologi-
cal Garden, and if there is anything
in a name it ought to survive itself as
an anomaly in journalism. The
editor who undertakes to print the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, may be public bene-
factor; but if humanity is run in the
same mold there, that it is here in
Martinsburg, he won't get any thanks
for it.
Now that the Inter State Commerce
Bill says that editors are no longer
passengers "they say" there are
some of them in town who havn't the
heart to try to "pass even a euchre
